about

Conceived in 2008 at a shotgun wedding in Brooklyn, Only Twin birthed its first EP in the summer of 2012. The band combines the songwriting of Marisa Frantz and Paul Parkhill, formerly of Brooklyn bands Tenkiller Twins and Building 6 (respectively). Parkhill and Frantz developed the songs gradually through a series of long-distance exchanges between New York and New Mexico, and the music reflects this shuttling between the dense landscape of the east and the expansive terrain of the west. The songs establish a continuum between spillways on the Rio Grande and grave-strewn paths in Greenwood Cemetery, keeping one foot firmly planted in an Americana ethos while exploring the opposing soundscapes and sensibilities of two wildly different regions.

Frantz and Parkhill are joined by Paul DeFiglia on double bass, whose beautiful and ominous bow work alternates with a driving bluegrass sensibility, and David Christian on drums, who demonstrates a similar ability to veer from crackling percussive rock beats to moody atmospheric drum accompaniment. Frantz’s lush harmonies and droning foot-pedal organ lend a narcotic effect, offset by Parkhill’s staccato guitar picking and unexpected chord progressions.
